Clayton Ridge is located on the eastern flank of the Clayton Valley, the only lithium producing region of the United States.The Company has completed approximately 1,000 meters of core drilling into the south and central zones of Clayton Ridge. The core has been cut, logged and will be sent to American Assay Labs for assaying. The initial phase of the program consisted of 11 holes and was completed by Falcon Drilling, Inc. (\"Falcon Drilling\"). The holes were drilled based on sampling from surface outcrops and mapping carried out by the Company. To date, 315 rock chip samples have been collected within the Project area. Each hole was drilled from surface to basement floor. All holes were drilled from individual drill pads. The figures below summarize the drill holes and locations.Figure #1: Drill Hole LocationsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8837/180239_figure_1.jpgFigure #2: Drill Hole SummaryHole No.Drill PadEastingNorthingTotal Depth (m)BearingInclinationCR01-234460708416926399.1ND-90CR02-231460094416827264.6ND-90CR03-232461329416834796.0270-70CR04-236461085416947241.5ND-90CR05-233461250416909171.3ND-90CR06-237460751416948565.8ND-90CR07-2394605224169937114.6ND-90CR08-23114606194170570111.6ND-90CR09-2354613724169431150.0ND-90CR10-2384615084169850100.0270-70CR11-2310461408417055075.0270-70 The select photos below showcase the drilling core associated with these units, including claystone and volcanic tufts, which are known to host lithium within the Clayton Valley region.
